I remember during covid the number of teens in my area that committed suicide. I was so mad/sad and will never forgive the people who drove them to this.

It’s tragic if anyone commits suicide.
I’m open to learning, what are “we” supposed to do? Create more government programs for mental health screenings? Require doctors to do some sort of mental health screenings at routine doctor’s appointments for other issues?
I’ve heard there are suicide hotlines people can call, and hopefully they get help from calling such services. Are those services effective; do we know?

How many of those 49K suicides were done with a gun?
I read over and over that a huge portion of "gun violence victims" are really suicides.

Does this include “Physician Assisted Suicide”, which is too ofter manipulated by greedy Insurance companies, Hospital Administrators, and family members.

“There’s something wrong. The number should not be going up,” said Christina Wilbur, a 45-year-old Florida woman whose son shot himself to death last year. “My son should not have died,” she said. “I know it’s complicated, I really do. But we have to be able to do something. Something that we’re not doing. Because whatever we’re doing right now is not helping.”Start with the person in the mirror.

Sadly this is what I predicted, although it has very little to do with the availability of guns. It’s the dreadful rise of mental illness.

Need more red flag laws. That’ll get lots of people to seek mental health help.

It’s because of climate change. Or maybe Putin.

She could start by being a parent. Teaching responsibility, obligations, duties, suborning wants and feelings etc. Otherwise it’ll be “I want drugs” and if I can’t get them I’ll....

Lack of real parenting. And that means not being ‘friends’ with your children.

The article blames guns, but guns are not a motive, but a means.
It is quite possible that the encouragement in schools of gender fluidity and homosexuality is the motive.
Homosexuals and transexuals are 3 to 6 times more likely to commit suicide than heterosexuals. That's massive.

Something that we’re not doing. What we're not doing is giving each generation of Americans a Solid Foundation upon which to build a life. Degenerates in America expelled Christ from America and the vacuum brought in every evil under the sun.
Dope addicts. Sexual deviants and perverts. Nihilistic violence in entertainment. The whole cult of the Climate Change fraud.
Every degenerate American who facilitated the above is going to answer. Some Day. But for right now, our young people are paying the price for the sins of their parents.
